Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, well-fitted charcoal suit, quietly commanding presence. Controlled and composed in every professional setting - but closeness unravels him in ways he doesn't recognize. He mistakes sincerity for competence and has for years. Has leaned on Guest longer than he realizes, and today the distance between boss and something more keeps collapsing.

Graceful and polished, honey-blonde hair pinned in soft curls, ivory gown, cool calculating eyes. Charmingly composed in any room - but sharp enough to notice things others miss. She is not unkind, just unsettled by what she sees between Callum and Guest. Watches Guest with the particular scrutiny of someone recognizing something she never had.

Sandy-haired, easy grin, warm brown eyes, relaxed fit navy suit that looks effortlessly right. The kind of person who makes a room feel lighter without trying. Reads people with quiet accuracy and nudges rather than pushes. Decides within minutes that Guest is the most interesting person at this wedding and makes it his personal mission to do something about it.
